God's Gift
by James E. Huggins, Jr. 

We saw the sun set into Lake DeGray.
It was a glorious sight to see.
And as it sank it seemed to say,
"God's gift to you has been this day".
.
When the sun had entered the lake so clear.
Only golden ripples remained.
And as we watched the lake seemed to say,
"God's gift to you has been this day".
.
When all the sun's glory was finally spent.
With majesty from above.
The star lit night seemed to say,
"God's gift to you has been this day".
.
A devotional was offered in the early morn.
An inspiration much to behold.
The rising sun seemed to say,
"God's gift to you will be this day".
.
As we gazed into each others eyes.
Each filled with a loving tear.
All seemed intent to earnestly pray,
"God thank you for the gift, of another day".
.
So when our days on earth are through.
And we go to that perfect place.
With outreaching arms He will gently say.
"My gift to you is this eternal day".
.
Dedicated to those who made the Ozark All Society Campout such a wholesome experience.
